Last night's town hall meeting hosted by Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was if it wasn’t so serious, it would have been allot more entertaining. To set the stage to this event there was a full contingent of People to defend Gabby was on stage, and the first person up was the former President of the University of Arizona, after that the former Surgeon General Richard H. Carmona who sounded more Political than he claim in his short speech of being bi-partisan.
There was close to 30 people on stage with the congresswoman and if looked as if, if she wanted to take cover she would duck behind some innocent targets. The audience was estimated up to 2 thousand people and I would say it was bit more. 85 percent of the audience was anti reform and there was pretty reasonable amount people there representing the other side of the issue.
Of course there was the usual statements of irrelevant statistics on the other side of the issue. What dawn on me in her speech was he references always to being a blue dog democrat, who believe that in the public option. which in someway contradicted her stand. I thought that blue dogs did not believe in the public options or could I be wrong? There was maybe about twenty participants and close to thirty questions for her. Most of which she did her best to dodge and some were loaded with half answers and most with no answers at all!
She claim she had read the bill referencing it a few times and it might of been refreshing except it seem to some of facts in her questions and some of her answers seem to show a lack of knowledge of it. Some of the other questions were why are we rushing this thought, But she also seem to think that maybe the bill could be pass piece by piece through the congress.
One man seem who supported the HR 3200 complaint how terrible our health care and then started to compare it to other countries. He quoted a statistics then comparing the US health care system and rank it below Cuba. He looked as if he was a lion being corner by hunters. He was a emotion liberal type who decided to yell at the audience and he, knew he was fighting a losing battle.
But that of one speaker proudly called his group ("the Saddlebrook Mob" .] The mob reacted to words, booing mention of the US Census Bureau, illegal aliens, electronic medical health records, Cuba, Former Governor Napolitano, VA government health care.
In all the Obamacare movement seem to have a hard time with the facts quoting statistics years old, when comparing to a well informed anti Obamacare movement. There emotional arguments didn’t sway anyone and at one point a suppose Doctor who happen to be wearing a white coat asked a question in support of the public option. Many consider him more a joke than a true representation of a health care professional!
Overall, the town meeting had it moments and represented what was good about America. It was what was traditional in the American system of debating a issue. It was a traditional New England Town meeting with all the rancor and drowning out the opposition that was suppose to happen.
Giffords only did these town halls because of those who oppose Obamacare overwhelmed with calls and emails. She is a typical democrat, she will fake right and go left, she will vote for this pig of a bill. She very well knows that the Public option will turn into a single payer option that Progressives and liberals want. How can she call herself a blue dog after voting for cap and tax and the porkulos spending bill? She is a liberal lap dog that votes 90 percent of the time with Pelosi.
As I said above 85 percent of the people I saw there were against this bill, If this represents the mood of the American people as a whole the democrats are now in trouble. They may not want to pursues these bill any further. They may want to cut their loses now, rather than lose the the House and Senate in the fall of 2010. Giffords future is in doubt, if the right candidate from the conservatives shows up! Overall, Last night's event was a true sign of our Republic! Makes me proud to be a American! A American Mob in the true sense of the word! Thank God for it!
